In the modified form the tube has a slot H to receive the edge of the paper.

From the foregoing description, taken with the drawings, the manner of using our device The tube in normal position is turned down and forms a closure to prevent the tobacco from spilling, and to use the same it is simply necessary to form or shape the wrapper upon the tube by turning or rotating the tube, close the outer end, then draw it out until it is filled sufficiently with tobacco, and the cigarette is completed in a moment.
